Don’t Believe The Historical Revisionism That Hollywood Inserts Into World War II Movies

Via Return of Kings

The United States has a timeless love affair with World War II which is unlikely to subside, even as nearly all veterans of the conflict (whether soldier or civilian) pass away and we draw further and further into the 21st century.

To be fair, this is quite understandable. Due to its immense scale of destruction and epic scope, the conflict is perceived to be the ultimate “Michael vs. Lucifer” face-off in human history.

The great triumph of the unquestionably good—the humanitarian and liberating United States and its Western allies—versus the cartoonishly evil Nazi Germany equipped with their cruel “muh 6 million” gas chambers, frankenstein technology, funky arm gestures, and over-the-top decked out uniforms.

Famous photos like these are supposed to give Americans the warm fuzzy wuzzies inside almost 75 years later. Even when they are working shit jobs, suffering from obesity, and have nothing exciting going on in life.

Sure, Italy and Japan were part of the bad guys too. While Spain, Sweden, Romania and other countries certainly played along by proxy and provided some voluntary soldiers, port access, raw materials, and freedom of movement among other hindsight no-no’s.

However, the roles of Italy and Japan are significantly downplayed in modern times compared to the Nazis, who just make far better pop culture villains. (Heck, there are many SJWs in modern times who actually think Japan was a victim in World War II.)

The Nazi archetype also perfectly fits the modern ‘social justice’ zeitgeist in the United States, which is basically a (((puppeteered))) conflict that is designed to pit a broad coalition of “marginalized” peoples against a perceived oppressor.

Ignorant, insensitive, privileged, racist, heterosexual white male American “Nazi.” Somebody stop him!

Women, blacks, Hispanics, Asians, Native Americans, gays, transsexuals, disabled people, and self-hating white liberal cucks are the “allies” of the conflict and are on the “right side of history,” as the saying goes. Meanwhile, right-leaning and able-bodied heterosexual white males are the “racist” and “white supremacist” Nazi ogres of our age, who have been “emboldened” by the election of Donald Trump in 2016.

There is just one problem with the newly resurrected Nazi-bashing narrative in an increasingly non-white USA: it was almost entirely heterosexual white males who also put a stop to the actual Nazi’s (and Japanese) in the 1940’s and freed nearly all peoples of the world in the process. That unsettling fact needs to get the George Orwell “Ministry of Truth” treatment for all future movies and TV shows right away!

Historical Fact – U.S. Armed Forces Were Segregated In WW2 And Overwhelmingly White

Latino-American actor Michael Pena played a Sherman Tank driver in the 2014 movie “Fury” alongside his four other white crewmen. While not as blatantly inaccurate as a black or Asian soldier, it nonetheless tacitly implies to a modern audience that Latinos played a big role in beating Nazi’s. Despite Latinos making up a VERY small percentage of the U.S. population in 1945.

With few exceptions, such as a select group of Navajo tribe soldiers who accompanied white American troops in the Pacific Theater to act as highly-efficient artillery “code talkers” (and bless their souls by the way), all military units of the United States armed forces were racially segregated in World War II.

White troops (making up well over 90% of total strength) fought in white-only units, blacks fought in black-only units, and the famous “go for broke” 442nd Regiment was composed of almost entirely 2nd generation Japanese-American men. This became the most decorated unit in the history of US warfare.

Loading…

Despite the thoroughly commendable contributions of non-white soldiers in World War II, it is entirely safe to say that both the European war and the Pacific war would have been easily won just based on the white component of U.S. manpower alone, which was a much whiter country in the early 1940’s compared to today. Yet there has been a change in recent years, with an influx of social justice tinged World War II films which imply that ‘ignorant’ sentiment should be called into question.

Enter The WWII Black Super-Soldier!

Just put a black man in a P-51 Mustang (top speed 437 MPH) and he’ll be able to go toe-to-toe with Messerschmitt Me262’s (top speed 559 MPH) that his white counterparts couldn’t handle. (Red Tails, 2012)

This phenomena of historical revisionist and minority empowering World War II films truly began in earnest with 2012’s “Red Tails“, which told a (fairy) tale about the Tuskegee Airmen in 1944.

Straight from the get go, it implies that the bombing campaign in central Europe is going very poorly for the USAAF (United States Army Air Force). Experienced German pilots are entering laughable turkey shoots, U.S. bomber losses are heavy, and white American fighter escorts are portrayed as hopelessly inept at protecting them. Thus enter a group of wise-cracking magical negros from Tuskegee, Alabama who save the day (every day) while one of them even gets to bang a smokin’ hot Italian woman on his off time.

Voila. The European air war of the 1940’s meets fabricated 2010’s standards of racial justice, minority empowerment, “we couldn’t have done it without you” vibes, and interracial hanky-panky! Just don’t let some irritating things called “historical facts” spoil the fun.

And Now Integration!

White supremacist Nazi zombies are gonna git ya black boy! That pretty much sums up the upcoming movie ‘Overlord‘, which automatically throws any semblance of historical accuracy out the window by portraying the African-American protagonist knee deep in a racially mixed group of U.S. paratroopers over Normandy.

Brought to you by director (((JJ Abrams))) and screenwriter (((Billy Ray))), you have a pretty good idea of where this is going. Expect plenty of gleeful killing of Nordic-looking people, the African-American protagonist stoically taking verbal abuse from his douchebag goy white countrymen, a white female “Mary Sue” stock character who takes a liking to said protagonist, and plenty of other 1940s tropes given the same 2010’s social justice twist as Star Wars.

No! Those racist white male zombie Nazi’s are over there! Take my hand and let’s go hide in the bedroom!

Conclusion

nazi hunters

“Inglorious Bleeders” – Will a group of Jewish, Black, and Latinx female commandos fight evil Cis-white male Nazi scum in a future movie or TV series? Who knows.

I touched upon historical revisionism before in a previous article, in which the Game of Thrones developers (((D.B. Weiss))) and (((David Benioff))) wanted to create a TV series called ‘Confederate‘, a show which would cling to the desperate and preposterous liberal narrative that a hypothetical Confederate States of America would still have slavery in the 21st century (despite still 3rd world Brazil being the last place in the Americas to abolish it in 1888).

Whether it’s ‘Confederate’ or ‘Red Tails’ or ‘Overlord’, these revisionist visual works all ultimately serve the same intended purpose. Downplay the importance of white males (or at least make them look bad in the process), and elevate in stature various U.S. minority groups and members of the female gender to rock star status. Simply to fit the emerging demographics and social expectations of an “equitable” 21st century USA.

The bullshit runs so deep with WWI and WWII revisionism you need wings to stay above it.

WWI . American majority against foreign war . Wilson gets elected riding wave of anti-war sentiment via promises of no foreign entanglements . Enter Edward Mandel House ( a Jew) , Jewish financiers and the pro -Bolshevik American press spewing tales of Hun atrocities such as bayoneting babies, and eating human flesh none of which was true. Britain via the Balfour Declaration promised International Jewish financiers Palestine if they aided in the destruction of Germany . And America became their tool.

WWII American majority against foreign war . Roosevelt gets elected riding wave of anti-war sentiment via promises of no foreign entanglements . Roosevelt’s cabinet was packed with communists under Jewish financier influence. Jews wanted both their homeland as promised and to save Jewish controlled Bolshevik Russia, so their American press propaganda machine goes to work. Americans , as always easily succumb to bullshit . And the global scourge that is Marxism marches bloodily on.

More truth here than the average American can stand.

Your points on revisionism are well taken, but, I hate to break it to you, there were other nations involved in beating the Axis powers; the Brits, Canadians, Aussies, and especially the Russians, who arguably did the most to defeat Hitler. You really do have to be thoroughly American not to blush in reading something like, “The European war . . . would have been easily won just based on the white component of U.S. manpower alone.”

Never heard of WWII Lend- Lease aid to Russia , have you ?
Germany was stomping Allied ass on two fronts, in both World wars and sans the aid of the US, both militarily and economically , Germany would not have been ultimately destroyed in WWII, which was the Bolshevik objective for ginning up the second world war in the first place. You’re clearly not tall enough to ride this ride.

“it nonetheless tacitly implies to a modern audience that Latinos played a big role in beating Nazi’s. Despite Latinos making up a VERY small percentage of the U.S. population in 1945.”

And just like that, the author revises history by casting doubt on the participation of Hispanics in WW2. Who gives a fudge tart if the Hispanic population was minuscule? They were there.
Dr. Pangloss’ adoptive father said he carried a flame-thrower, he never mentioned being in a segregated unit. Just a couple of years ago, one of the few remaining Hispanic veterans of WW2 kicked off to that great concentration camp in the sky.
BTW, I read that Hispanics in VN earned more medals for valor. Doc Pangloss was not impressed with Ebonic valor.

Back in the 60’s the Hispanics I served with all considered themselves white just like Greeks and Italians I served withand me and my buddies thought likewise. Maybe it was different in the Army with all the draftees.
They were as proud of being Mexican, Puerto Rican, Dominican etc. as we were of being Irish,Polish,Dutch etc..
The point being that maybe the census takers of the day saw it that way also.

Fleabo, we were told by our elementary teachers that despite being brown, we were to check the “White” box. It enabled the government to integrate schools with black and ‘brown-whites’. Old Pangloss was active in the effort to discourage and coopt the nascent Chicano movement. My cousin said they came down to El Paso from Denver to promote Chicano unity. He said somebody started shooting in the theater. Old Pangloss said it was him. He did not believe in Chicanismo and derided the Joaquin Murrieta bio-film, mispronouncing it “I am Joking”.

I mentioned that my barrio neighborhood had been full of kids, boys that played baseball games in the Sears parking lot after school. When the war heated up, almost all of those older kids were drafted. Billy pooh-poohed the account as sentimentalism. No, I meant, that’s what happened. There were a couple of old women there who lost their son, an only child, in the war. Their response was stoic.
When I was in hs, I got to see the white boys getting drafted also. I missed the draft by a year. I said before, if I had been drafted, I would have been killed quickly, I really had no sense.

What If Everything We’ve Been Told About Recent History Is a Lie?

by Chuck Baldwin

What if everything we’ve been told about 9/11 is a lie? What if it wasn’t 19 Muslim terrorist hijackers that flew those planes into the Twin Towers and Pentagon? What if the Muslims had nothing whatsoever to do with the attacks on 9/11? What if everything we’ve been told about the reasons we invaded two sovereign nations (Afghanistan and Iraq) is a lie?

What if the 17-year-old, never-ending “War on Terror” in the Middle East is a lie? What if our young soldiers, sailors, airmen and Marines who have given their lives in America’s “War on Terror” died for a lie? What if G.W. Bush, Barack Obama and Donald Trump have been nothing but controlled toadies for an international global conspiracy that hatched the attacks of 9/11 as nothing more than a means to institute a perpetual “War on Terror” for purposes that have nothing to do with America’s national security? Would the American people want to know? Would the truth even matter to them?

The sad reality is that the vast majority of Americans who would read the above paragraph would totally dismiss every question I raised as being unrealistic and impossible—or even nutty. Why is that? Have they studied and researched the questions? No. Have they given any serious thought to the questions? No. They have simply swallowed the government/mainstream media version of these events hook, line and sinker.

It is totally amazing to me that the same people who say they don’t believe the mainstream media (MSM) and government (Deep State) versions of current events—which is why they voted for and love Donald Trump—have absolutely no reservations about accepting the official story that the 9/11 attacks were the work of jihadist Muslims and that America’s “War on Terror” is completely legitimate.

These “always Trumpers” are dead set in their minds that America is at war with Islam; that Trump’s bombings of Syria were because President Assad is an evil, maniacal monster who gassed his own people; and that Trump’s expansion of the war in Afghanistan is totally in the interests of America’s national security.

BUT WHAT IF ALL OF IT IS A BIG, FAT LIE?

What if the Muslims had NOTHING to do with 9/11?

What if Bashar al-Assad did NOT gas his own people?

What if America’s “War on Terror” is a completely false, manufactured, made-up deception?

What if America’s military forces are mostly fighting for foreign agendas and NOT for America’s national security or even our national interests?

What if America’s war in Afghanistan is a fraud?

What if the entire “War on Terror” is a fraud?

The Trump robots have bought into America’s “War on Terror” as much as Obama’s robots and Bush’s robots did. Bush was elected twice, largely on the basis of America’s “War on Terror.” Obama campaigned against the “War on Terror” and then expanded it during his two terms in office. Trump campaigned against the “War on Terror” and then immediately expanded it beyond what Obama had done. In fact, Trump is on a pace to expand the “War on Terror” beyond the combined military aggressions of both Bush and Obama.

But who cares? Who even notices?

America is engaged in a global “War on Terror.” Just ask G.W. Bush, Barack Obama, Donald Trump, ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, FOX News, The Washington Post, the New York Times and the vast majority of America’s pastors and preachers. They all tell us the same thing seven days a week, twenty-four hours a day. Liberals scream against Trump, and conservatives scream against Maxine Waters; but both sides come together to support America’s never-ending “War on Terror.”

But what if it’s ALL a lie? What if Obama and Trump, the right and the left, the MSM and the conservative media are all reading from the same script? What if they are all (wittingly or unwittingly) in cahoots in perpetuating the biggest scam in world history? And why is almost everyone afraid to even broach the question?

Left or right, liberal or conservative, Democrat or Republican, secular or Christian, no one dares to question the official story about the 9/11 attacks or the “War on Terror.”

And those who do question it are themselves attacked unmercifully by the right and the left, conservatives and liberals, Christians and secularists, Sean Hannity and Chris Matthews. Why is that? Why is it that FOX News and CNN, Donald Trump and Barack Obama, Chuck Schumer and Ted Cruz equally promote the same cockamamie story about 9/11 and the “War on Terror?”

Why? Why? Why?

Tell me again how Donald Trump is so different from Barack Obama. Tell me again how Ted Cruz is so different from Chuck Schumer. They all continue to perpetuate the lies about 9/11. They all continue to escalate America’s never-ending “War on Terror.” They are all puppets of a global conspiracy to advance the agenda of war profiteers and nation builders.

The left-right, conservative-liberal, Trump-Obama paradigm is one big giant SCAM. At the end of the day, the “War on Terror” goes on, bombs keep falling on people in the Middle East who had absolutely NOTHING to do with 9/11 and the money keeps flowing into the coffers of the international bankers and war merchants.

All of the above is why I am enthusiastically promoting Christopher Bollyn’s new blockbuster book The War on Terror.

Of course, Bollyn is one of the world’s foremost researchers and investigators into the attacks on 9/11. He has written extensively on the subject. But unlike most other 9/11 investigators, Bollyn continued to trace the tracks of the attacks on 9/11. And those tracks led him to discover that the 9/11 attacks were NOT “the event” but that they were merely the trigger for “the event.” “What was the event?” you ask. America’s perpetual “War on Terror.”

As a result, Mr. Bollyn published his findings that the attacks on 9/11 were NOT perpetrated by Muslim extremists but by a very elaborate and well financed international conspiracy that had been in the planning for several decades. Bollyn’s research names names, places and dates and exposes the truth behind not just 9/11 (many have done that) but behind America’s “War on Terror” that resulted from the attacks on 9/11.

IT’S TIME FOR THE TRUTH TO COME OUT!

And Christopher Bollyn’s investigative research brings out the truth like nothing I’ve read to date. His research connects the dots and destroys the myths.

Mr. Bollyn’s research is published in a book entitled (full title): The War On Terror: The Plot To Rule The Middle East. I mean it when I say that if enough people read this book, it could change the course of history and save our republic.

This is written on the book’s back cover:

The government and media have misled us about 9/11 in order to compel public opinion to support the War on Terror.

Why have we gone along with it? Do we accept endless war as normal? Are we numb to the suffering caused by our military interventions?

No. We have simply been propagandized into submission. We have been deceived into thinking that the War on Terror is a good thing, a valiant struggle against terrorists who intend to attack us as we were on 9/11.

Behind the War on Terror is a strategic plan crafted decades in advance to redraw the map of the Middle East. 9/11 was a false-flag operation blamed on Muslims in order to start the military operations for that strategic plan. Recognizing the origin of the plan is crucial to understanding the deception that has changed our world.

Folks, 9/11 was a deception. The “War on Terror” is a deception. The phony left-right paradigm is a deception. FOX News is as much a deception as CNN. The “always Trump” group is as much a deception as the “never Trump” group. America has been in the throes of a great deception since September 11, 2001. And this deception is being perpetrated by Republicans and Democrats and conservatives and liberals alike.

I do not know Christopher Bollyn. I’ve never met him. But I thank God he had the intellectual honesty and moral courage to write this book. I urge readers to get this explosive new book. If you don’t read any other book this year, read Mr. Bollyn’s investigative masterpiece: The War On Terror: The Plot To Rule The Middle East.

Again, I am enthusiastically recommending this book to my readers, and I make no apologies for doing so. The truth contained in this research MUST get out, and I am determined to do all I can to help make that possible.

Order Christopher Bollyn’s blockbuster book The War On Terror: The Plot To Rule The Middle East here:

The War On Terror: The Plot To Rule The Middle East

I am confident that after you read this book, you will want to buy copies for your friends and relatives. The book is under 200 pages long and is not difficult reading. However, the facts and details Bollyn covers are profound and powerful. I have read the book three times so far and I’m not finished.

Frankly, Bollyn’s book made so many things make sense for me. His book dovetails and tracks with much of my research on other topics. Truly, his book helped me get a much fuller understanding of the “big picture.”

What if everything we’ve been told about 9/11 and the “War on Terror” is a lie? Well, Bollyn’s book proves that indeed it is.

Again, here is where to find Christopher Bollyn’s phenomenal new book The War On Terror: The Plot To Rule The Middle East:

Sadly, there is no “what if”.

I enjoy the irony Ibn Saud’s Ikwhan murdered William Shakespeare’s grandson… Particularly as the Saud’s posture themselves as the defenders of the ancient Hashemite Kingdom of the Hejaz… while prerequisite to residency there is largely province of Hidatha as defined in one scimitar of Nejd…

Now and forever double-crossed.

Saudi is now fully whored in Western hypocrisy.

The enemy is Corruption. The enemy is Counterfeiting. The enemy is the Deceiver.

In 1953, Operation Ajax employed hypocrisy of American CIA in service to British Banks- anybody see a pattern?

Operation Ajax took “proxy” of east v west and re-platformed “Shia v Sunni”. The only “what if” that has ANY relevance is harbored in the notion the US “Government” is “We The People”.

Russia inflicted 90% of the casualties on the Germans. I know; I lost 4 German uncles fighting on the Eastern front.

The Russians had already overrun the Eastern half of Europe even before the D-Day invasion where the Allies struggled to get their sorry asses off the Normandy beaches. Prior to the Yalta Conference with Stalin to discuss Europe’s postwar reorganization, Churchill and Roosevelt needed to convince Stalin that, although the Soviets had ground superiority, the Allies had air superiority so the more the Soviets conquered the closer they came to Allied air power.

To demonstrate this to Stalin, they needed to firebomb a city that had been previously untouched and close enough to the Soviet advance so the Soviets could see that the Allies could completely destroy a city within 24 hours. Dresden fit both criteria. Dresden was turned into a raging furnace and, at the conference; Stalin agreed to halt his advance.

Contrary to Hollywood’s bullshit propaganda, the Amerikan effort was a mopping-up operation compared to the twenty million people the Soviets lost.

I liked this story the first time I saw it in 90s, but it was called Wolfenstein and the main character you played as was named “Blazkowicz.”
I wouldn’t worry too much about this being historical revisionism- Black heroes in WWII are as fantastic as Nazi Zombies and women who can handle themselves.

I do hate historical revisionism, but if you don’t take it with a grain of salt, you don’t get to enjoy many war films in general, such as Kelly’s Heroes. And even the most realistic ones, such as Saving Private Ryan (at least the first 20 minutes), are insanely silly at times. I take the good with the bad, such as the retarded love story in Enema at the Gates in exchange for seeing Stalingrad on screen. Or some of the silly stuff in Cross of Iron to see Coburn say to the German major, “I’ll show you where the iron crosses grow.”(read the book, it’s wayyyyy better) If war movies were truly authentic, half the film would be garrison bullshit, time-waster details, paperwork, group punishment for individuals’ offenses, standing in line for things, bad food, and waiting around for nothing. Then, watching the senior NCOs and officers could get Bronze and Silver Stars based on their duty positions/ranks, while the hero gets an Army Achievement Medal because even though he knocked out 3 tanks and killed a million nazis and traveled back in time to abort Mussolini and Hitler, he’s only a PFC without a degree. Oh, and then he would be investigated for some piddly shit, like writing an offensive word on a bomb or insulting the child-molesting prophet, ‘Mo.

Interesting real life note-there were black paras in WWII, but they never deployed. They served in non-combat roles in the US, including fighting fires as Smoke Jumpers with the Forest Service.

“I don’t think much about the big war anymore, the one they call The Second One, because the small wars that came after it seem a lot bigger now than the big war was. Most people today
look back at the big one with sort of fond memories. It was, in a sense, an okay war. We knew why we were fighting it and we felt pretty proud of ourselves for being in it. We liked the songs.
We liked the uniforms. We liked the girls and liked that everyone liked us. So, looking back,
it really was one of your better wars. Except if you were just a kid, a year out of high school,
heading south in a troop train, knowing that in two months you’d be in some mud hole
fighting for your life.”
(Biloxi Blues. Dir. Mike Nichols. Perf. Matthew Broderick . Rastar Pictures, 1988)
